Lynne Copp presented on the future of work. While businesses have tried to achieve goals through a performance culture, competition for talent is high and stress has increased costs. Too much stress can lead to dysfunction. A more engaging culture with a focus on infrastructure, employees, management, leadership, and culture is needed. This includes flexibility and choice in work arrangements to reduce or rearrange hours and locations. People, place, and process need attention through diversity, mobility, waste reduction, and benchmarking. Organizational learning, culture change, innovation, and work-life balance can be addressed through various tools like coaching, seminars, and communication.
